Well, I guess we can add

Fixes: e4630fdd4763 ("x86/power/64: Always create temporary identity mapping correctly")

but the bug is not triggirable with current upstream code.

It only wraps to zero if you touch top PGD entry. There's no such users in
upstream. Only hibernate_64.c uses x86_mapping_info::offset and it works
on direct mapping range which is not top PGD entry.
